with the clamp on the barrel i am guessing its a free floating barrel and action ?

Yeah mate it's a "barrel block" setup. Barrel block rifles used to be more common back before all the many custom actions appeared in the market.
That gun is bloody accurate, has all top components and being 7kg in weight will always be easier to shoot well than a lightweight rig.
Took it goat shooting a month or so back, after finally finding a farmer who would let us shoot a few way up high in these narly hills where he couldn't muster them. We drove right up to the top of this guys block and were up high looking across this big gully with the morning fog just below us, so I could clearly see there was no wind, and there at 450 yards was a nanny sitting in the sun side-on just minding her own business. My mate said "head shoot it", so I did. I had the perfect ground position to shoot from. Dialled it up first with a Sig Sauer 2400ABS. We only shot 2 each, but dropped off beers to the farmer and made a good contact for another trip sometime.
